Brunch Beat: The Lion roars for brunch

Gilt City is offering a deal for a jazz brunch at The Lion (62 W. 9th St.). The brasserie isn’t usually open for Saturday brunch, but on June 11, Gilt City members get first taste . Pay $90, $180 or $270 for groups of two, four or six, respectively, and enjoy the music as you nibble on chef John DeLucie’s American classics.

Going back to work after a day off is always tough, but the weekend is almost here, which means brunch is right around the corner!
